When peppers are on sale, it makes this dish that much better! It's the perfect side for adding that homemade touch to any meal.
What You'll Need
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups crumbled fresh bread crumbs
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
What to Do
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
-
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except butter; pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Dot with butter.
-
Bake 50 to 55 minutes, or until slightly brown and set.
Notes
-
This is a great, easy side dish. For a lighter-style treat, you can use low-fat cheese, 2% milk, a lighter-type bread for bread crumbs, less salt, or even omit the egg yolk.

What a festive and colorful way to eat your veggies! And since the peppers get sweeter as they cook and it is cheesy, the kids won't mind eating this either! I might even serve this stuff alongside some eggs and breakfast style chicken sausage and eat it for breakfast! A great healthy way to start the day.

Herb Crusted Lamb with Mint Sauce
Instead of cooking ham or prime rib for Easter, why not try something new this year? Our Herb-Crusted Lamb with Mint Sauce may look and sound fancy, but it's really easy to do. It's basically a rack of lamb that's coated with herbs and spices before it's roasted to perfection. Just before serving, it's finished off with a mint-wine reduction. The end result is an Easter-worthy main dish that'll impress everyone at the table.
